This review compiles various nanostructures fabricated by a distinct “dry autoclaving” approach, where the chemical reactions are carried out without solvents; above the dissociation temperature of the chemical precursor(s) at elevated temperature in a closed reactor. The diversity to fabricate carbides (SiC, Mo 2 C, WC), oxides (VOx‐C, ZnO, Eu 2 O 3 , Fe 3 O 4 , MoO 2 ), hexaborides (LaB 6 , CeB 6 , NdB 6 , SmB 6 , EuB 6 , GdB 6 ), nitrides (TiN, NbN, TaN), phosphides (PtP 2 , WP), sulfides (ZnS, FeS/C, SnS/C, WS 2 , WS 2 /C), and selenides (Zn 1‐x Mn x Se/C, Cd 1‐ x Mn x Se/C), with various shapes and sizes is accounted with plausible applications. This unique single‐step, solvent‐free synthetic process opens up a new route in the growing nanomaterials science; owing to its considerable advantages on the existing approaches.
